Rant -MIL

Recently my 3weeks baby got admitted due to vomiting of milk & constipation for 5days. MIL blame me for eating rubbish, saying that my confinement meals have 'fried' items, its unhealthy. I shouldn't breast feed baby. It's because of what I eat that causes baby to be constipated. I was so upset. I run away from home back to my mother's place. During my first week of confinement, before my milk supply came in, she say that I got no supply unlike her younger days, she got so much milk. She cook confinement meals for me (first week) but I don't like her cooking , she not happy. Is it wrong for me to run away from home?

Oh dear. It’s not your fault. You may want to see a PD on how to improve your baby’s condition. You can give probiotics to help with baby’s gut health. Please also talk to your husband about his mother’s behaviour. He ought to protect you. You have just given birth and need a lot of rest and care, not blame and scolding. If you can breastfeed, please do so! It’s really good for your baby. Your baby comes first, not your MIL! If you don’t like her cooking, can you consider ordering confinement food? Tell your husband that your baby needs a lot of positive vibes and a loving home.
